Day 4 of the ongoing second Test between England and the West Indies at the Emirates Old Trafford, Manchester began with a fleeting shower. Former England captain Nasser Hussain rang the bell at the ground with a glove on one hand.

Thanks to centuries from Dom Sibley (120) and Ben Stokes (176), England piled up 469/9d in their first innings. The third day of the play was washed out due to rain, while the West Indies had made 32/1 at the end of the second day’s play.

ENG v WI 2020: "No reason why England can't still win the second Test", says Sam Curran

Sky Sports Twitter account shared the video of Nasser Hussain ringing the Old Trafford bell and captioned the post, “He's always loved @EmiratesOT ...@nassercricketis as enthusiastic as ever as he rings the bell with everyone he has ever bought a drink for in the stands!”

To which Hussain replied, “Averaged 9 in tests at Old Trafford so this is comfortable my best moment on this ground !!”

Meanwhile, the Lancashire cricket Twitter account shared photos of Hussain playing it up for the non-existent crowd present in the ground,” @nassercricket playing up to the huge crowd this morning @EmiratesOT by ringing the bell. “

Hussain, in his column for Sky Sports, called Sam Curran as the trump card for England.

He wrote, “Another bonus for England is Curran’s height. The fact he is short helps England at Old Trafford because he bowls the full length that brings LBW and the stumps into play. Jason Holder, who is 6ft 7in, was bowling a full length and only just trimming the bails, so a load of DRS decisions weren’t overturned. Curran, at 5ft 9in, has a different trajectory and brings the stumps into play.”
